OVERTURE:
FREEDOM AT WOODSTOCK  1969..
SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE A MOTHERLESS CHILD

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Long way from my home
Sometimes I wish I could fly
Like a bird up in the sky
Oh, sometimes I wish I could fly
Fly like a bird up in the sky
Sometimes I wish I could fly
Like a bird up in the sky
Closer to my home

Motherless children have a hard time
Motherless children have-a such a hard time
Motherless children have such a really hard time
A long way from home

Sometimes I feel like freedom is near
Sometimes I feel like freedom is here
Sometimes I feel like freedom is so near
But we're so far from home

1.   YOU CAN CLOSE YOUR EYES


Well the sun is surely sinking down
But the moon is slowly rising
So this old world must still be spinning 'round
And I still love you

So close your eyes
You can close your eyes, it's all right
I don't know no love songs
And I can't sing the blues anymore
But I can sing this song
And you can sing this song
When I'm gone

It won't be long before another day
We gonna have a good time
And no one's gonna take that time away
You can stay as long as you like

So close your eyes
You can close your eyes, it's all right
I don't know no love songs
And I can't sing the blues anymore
But I can sing this song
And you can sing this song
When I'm gone

2.    THE GREAT MANDALA  ( THE WHEEL OF LIFE)


So I told him that he'd better shut his mouth
And do his job like a man
And he answered, "Listen Father".

I will never kill another
Thinks he's better
Than his brother who died
What the hell does he think he's doing
To his father who brought him up right ?

{Refrain :}
Take your place on the Great Mandala
As it moves through your brief moment in time
Win or lose now, you must choose now
And if you lose you're only losing your life.

Tell the jailer not to bother
With his meal of bread and water today
He is fasting 'til the killing's over.

He's a martyr, he thinks he's a prophet
But he's a coward, he's just playing a game
He can't do it, he can't change it
And it's been going on for ten thousand years.

{Refrain :}
Take your place on the Great Mandala
As it moves through your brief moment of time
Win or lose now, you must choose now
And if you lose you're only losing your life.

What's that rumbling in the courtyard ?
Seven thousand faces are turned to the gate
What's that they are saying ? Kill the traitor
Kill the traitor, kill the traitor, kill the traitor

{Refrain :}
Take your place on the Great Mandala
As it moves through your brief moment of time
Win or lose now, you must choose now
And if you lose you're only losing your life.

Tell the people they are safe now
Hunger stopped him, now he lies still in his cell
Death has gagged all his accusations.

We are free now, we can kill now
We can hate now, now we can end the world
We're not guilty, he was crazy
And it's been going on for ten thousand years.

{Refrain :}
Take your place on the Great Mandala
As it moves through your brief moment of time
Win or lose now, we must choose now
And if you lose you're only wasting your life.

If you lose you're only wasting your life
If you lose you're only wasting your life
If you lose you're only wasting your life
If you lose you've only wasted your life.

And do his job like a man
And he answered, "Listen".

3.      FOLLOW

Let the river rock you like a cradle
Climb to the treetops, child, if you're able
Let your hands tie a knot across the table.
Come and touch the things you cannot feel.

And close your fingertips and fly where I can't hold
you
Let the sun-rain fall and let the dewy clouds enfold
you
And maybe you can sing to me the words I just told you,
If all the things you feel ain't what they seem.
And don't mind me 'cos I ain't nothin' but a dream.

The mocking bird sings each different song
Each song has wings - they won't stay long.
Do those who hear think he's doing wrong?
While the church bell tolls its one-note song
And the school bell is tinkling to the throng.
Come here where your ears cannot hear.

And close your eyes, child, and listen to what I'll
tell you
Follow in the darkest night the sounds that may impel
you
And the song that I am singing may disturb or serve to
quell you
If all the sounds you hear ain't what they seem,
Then don't mind me 'cos I ain't nothin' but a dream

The rising smell of fresh-cut grass
Smothered cities choke and yell with fuming gas
I hold some grapes up to the sun
And their flavour breaks upon my tongue.
With eager tongues we taste our strife
And fill our lungs with seas of life.
Come taste and smell the waters of our time.

And close your lips, child, so softly I might kiss you,
Let your flower perfume out and let the winds caress
you.
As I walk on through the garden, I am hoping I don't
miss you
If all the things you taste ain't what they seem,
Then don't mind me 'cos I ain't nothin' but a dream .

The sun and moon both arise
And we'll see them soon through days and nights
But now silver leaves are mirrors, bring delights.
And the colours of your eyes are fiery bright,
While darkness blinds the skies with all its light.
Come see where your eyes cannot see.

And close your eyes, child, and look at what I'll show
you;
Let your mind go reeling out and let the breezes blow
you,
And maybe when we meet then suddenly I will know you.
If all the things you see ain't
quite what they seem,
Then don't mind me 'cos I ain't nothin' but a dream .
And you can follow; And you can follow; follow...

4.    STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA


I was bruised and battered and I couldn't tell what I
felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
Saw my reflection in a window I didn't know my own face
Oh brother are you gonna leave me wastin' away
On the streets of Philadelphia

I walked the avenue 'til my legs felt like stone
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Just as black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of Philadelphia

Ain't no angel gonna greet me
It's just you and I my friend
And my clothes don't fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles
just to slip this skin

The night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia

5.   IF I.....


If I could tell a story, what secrets I would tell
Of those who have gotten the glory
And those who went to hell.

If I could show the pictures,
Of the faces I believed
They'd all be children smiling
With nothing up there sleeves.

I'd remember ever detail, I'd remember every flaw
And every time we failed to open every door.

If I could change the ending, no one would ever lose
Id keep this road from bending, no one should have to
choose
We walked this line together, then share what can share
Then we'd all do this forever, then that should get us
there.

6.  I DON'T WANNA KNOW  

I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love

Sometimes it gets so hard to listen
Hard for me to use my eyes
And all around the gold is glistening
Making sure it keeps me down to size

I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know a thing about evil
Only wanna know about love

(Knowledge is power)

I'm waitin' for the planes to tumble
Waitin' for the towns to fall
I'm waitin' for the cities to crumble
Waitin' till I see you crawl

I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know a thing about evil
Only wanna know about love

I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love

And yes it's getting hard to listen
Hard for me to use my eyes
And all around the gold is glistening
Making sure it keeps us hyp-n-o-tized

I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know a thing about evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know a thing about evil
Only wanna know about love
I don't wanna know 'bout evil
Only wanna know about love...

7.   WE ALL KNOW NOW.

We all know now that somewhere
The weather is something that is right
Someone there that keeps all from knowing

We all feel that some day we will finally win this fight
For today is the day that the mighty wind is blowing.

You are not to blame for anything you did not do
We all know the scoundrels have our numbers
And you are not responsible for everything they did to
you
Today is the day that we will learn more truth.

Talk about, giving
Talk about, living
Talk about, giving now.

You cannot hide from anyone who is staring in your eyes
We all know the scoundrels are through the roofs
And will not stand inside the stampede of their lies
For todays the today we all come up from under.

8.   PUTTING OUT THE VIBRATION AND HOPING IT COMES HOME  
Brighter days ahead
Step out from the shade
Brighter days ahead
See what you have made
Of yourselves
Of your lives

Brighter days ahead
In these present eyes
Reach out from the haze
In these present eyes
See what you have made
Of these days
Full of hate
Full of strife

Brighter days ahead
See the morning from your knees
Peace at noontime saves the sun
See the evening if you please
Love and peace and life are one

Brighter days ahead
Let all men realize
Brighter days ahead
That this truth they prize
In their eyes
In their eyes
Brighter days ahead



9.  SLOW DOWN

The faces in my sleep
Are buried very deep
They only surface when I run in circles

As I go round and round
I cannot make a sound
I hear a voice
And it sounds like a miracle

Slow Down, Slow Down
You know that everything 's a showdown
Slow Down

The echoes in my mind
They 're working overtime
I cannot keep them all from testifying
A captivating smile
Really not my style
The pace is picking up there's no denying

Slow Down, Slow Down
You know that everything's a showdown
Slow Down

The bar is closed tonight
Everybody's out of sight
Such a quiet light
When all Hell is breaking

But I keep moving on
Until the night is gone
I' ve got just one more chance
And that chance I ' m taking

Slow Down, Slow Down
You know that everything's a showdown
Slow Down

Slow Down, Slow Down
You know that everything? s a showdown
Slow Down

Slow Down, Slow Down
You know that everything' s a showdown
Slow Down

10.  DROWN IN MY OWN TEARS


It brings a tear,
Into my eyes,
When I begin,
To realize,
I've cried so much,
Since you've been gone,
I guess I'm drowning in my own tears,

I sit and cry,
Just like a child
My pouring tears
Are runnin' wild
If you don't think
You'll be home soon
I guess I'll drown in my own tears

I know it's true
Into each life
Some rain, rain must pour
I'm so blue
Here without you
It keeps raining
More and more

Why don't you
Come on home
Oh yes so I won't
Be all alone
If you don't think
You'll be home soon

I guess I'll (drown in my own tears)
Ooh, don't let me (drown in my own tears)
When I'm in trouble, baby (drown in my own tears)
Oh, yeah, baby don't let me (drown in my own tears)
I guess I'll drown in my own tears
Oh, mmmmm.

1.     IF I GIVE MY HEART

If I give my heart to you tonight
Will you still be by my side?
Or will you be gone with the morning sun
Like a restless bird in flight?

Take me in your arms
Let the love you seek
Wash away your sorrow,
Let the morning be ours to keep.

And if I should tell you of the love that I feel
Will you still be there for me
Or will I awake to a faded love searching for freedoms gain

Take me in your arms
Let the love you seek
Wash away your sorrow,
Let the morning be ours to keep.

Take me in your arms
Let the love you seek
Wash away your sorrow,
Let the morning be ours to keep.

If I give my heart to you tonight
Will you still be by my side?
Or will you be gone with the morning sun
Like a bird who yearns to fly?

2.    REMIND ME DEAR  LORD.



The things that I love
I hold dear to my heart
They are borrowed and
Not mine at all
Jesus only let me use them
To brighten my life
So remind me, remind me dear Lord

Roll back the curtain of memory now and then
Show me where you brought me from and
Where i could have been
Just remember I'm a human and human's forget
So remind me, remind me dear Lord

Nothing good have i done
To deserve God's own Son
I'm not worthy of the scars
In His hands
Yet he chose the road to Calvary
To die in my stead
Why He loved me i can't understand

Roll back the curtain of memory now and then
Show me where you brought me from and
Where i could have been
Just remember I'm a human and human's forget
So remind me, remind me dear Lord

Just remember I'm a human and human's forget
So remind me, remind me dear Lord

3.   AS LOVELY AS YOU


The big moon is risin' so bright in the sky
But it won't shine brighter than the stars in your eyes
It rises above me so bright and so blue
And I won't see anyone, as lovely as you

Take me into the night,
Past these lonely dreams in my heart
I love you, more than I could show you
More than I could know, in my heart

So lay down beside me and hold me tonight
For your love has found me and it feels so right
These thoughts in my mind are so scattered and few
And I won't see anyone as lovely as you

Take me into the night,
Past these lonely dreams in my heart
I love you, more than I could show you
More than I could know

Take me into the night,
Past these lonely dreams in my heart
I love you, more than I could show you
More than I could know, in my heart
In my heart

4.    LAY DOWN BESIDE ME


(feat. John Waite)

[John Waite:]
I've spent my life
Lookin for you
Findin' my way
Wasn't easy to do
But I knew there was you
All the while
And it's been worth
Every mile

So lay down beside me
Love me and hide me
And kiss all the hurtin'
Of this world away
Hold me so close
That I feel your heart beat
And don't ever wander away

[Alison Krauss:]
Mornings and evenings
All were the same
There was no music
Til I heard your name
I knew when I saw you smile
And now I can rest for a while

[Together:]
So lay down beside me
Love me and hide me
Kiss all the hurtin'
Of this world away
Hold me so close
That I feel your heart beat
And don't ever wander away

And hold me so close
That I feel your heart beat
And don't ever wander away

[she hums]
he sings
Love me and hide me

[both hum]
he sings
'Til I feel your heart beat

[both hum]

  5.    STARS


Stood out in the rain.
Let it soak me down,
Before I called you...
I called you.

You did not see me there,
Hidden by the dark,
Beneath your window,
But I saw you.

When putting on a face for the mirror on the wall.
Dreaming that the looking glass is you.
Catching my fondest gazes;
Living through my fickle phases.
I love you.

Spend my time on 'phones,
Tryin' just to talk,
But you didn't answer...
You let it ring.

Spend my nights alone,
Catching fallin' stars,
To give to you, love.
They're just for you.

Stars fall every time a lover has to face the truth.
And far too many stars have fell on me.
And as they trail the skies,
And burn their paths upon my eyes,
I cry.

And it's getting easier, each day, to weep about you.
Harder, every night, to sleep without you.
How many years must I be,
Driven by this dream of love with you?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_D26WduX7U

6.    FAR AWAY LAND


When years seem like days to me
No time on my hands
I run away to a place in me to a faraway land

When home seems so far from me
Heaven's lights grow dim
It's just as far as my deepest heart
Where my heart's father lives

His quiet voice speaking in silence every day
If I will only listen to the words he has to say
I'll walk in his spirit and see him in my face
I will live, 'cause he will live in my place

When life seem so hard to bear
When shadows look real
The circumstance is your father's care
Don't find faith by what you feel

If you have been running to
Stop now in your tracks
Turn again to the one in you
And put your burdens on his back

His quiet voice speaking in silence every day
If I will only listen to the words he has to say
I'll walk in his spirit and see him in your face
I will live, 'cause he will live in my place

When years seem like days to me
No time on my hands
I run away to a place in me to a faraway land

7.     BLUE & LONESOME

The lonesome sound of a train going by,
Make me wanna stop and cry.
I recall the day he took you a way,
I'm blue, I'm lonesome, too.

When I'm hear that whistle blow,
I wanna pack my suitcase and go,
The lonesome sound of a train going by,
Make me wanna stop and cry.

In the still of the night, in the pale moonlight,
The wind it moans and sighs.
There awful blues, I just can't lose.
I'm blue, I'm lonesome, too.

When I'm hear that whistle blow,
I wanna pack my suitcase and go,
The lonesome sound of a train going by,
Make me wanna stop and cry.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7wENPLoRT0

  8.    HERE COMES GOODBYE


I can hear those lonesome midnight sighs in your sleep
I can hear the freight train's whistle cry, it's tellin' me
It's telling me, oh darlin' can't you see
Here comes that same old line, here comes goodbye

Here comes goodbye, tonight
Put a hold on all your lies, it's just not right
It comes as no surprise, this time
Any fool would realize, here comes goodbye

Better take some time to talk it over again with me
Better get all your things together now if you leave
It's killin' me, oh darlin' can't you see
Here comes that same old line, here comes goodbye

Here comes goodbye, tonight
Put a hold on all your lies, it's just not right
It comes as no surprise, this time
Any fool would realize, here comes goodbye

I can hear your footsteps movin' slowly across my floor
I can see your shadow look back at me outside my door
What'cha waitin' for? Oh darlin' I know for sure
Here comes that same old line, here comes goodbye

Here comes goodbye, tonight
Put a hold on all your lies, it's just not right
It comes as no surprise, this time
Any fool would realize, here comes goodbye

Any fool would realize, here comes goodbye

9.         A LIVING PRAYER


In this world I walk alone with no place to call my home
But there's One who holds my hand
The rugged road through barren lands
The way is dark, the road is steep
But He's become my eyes to see
The strength to climb, my griefs to bear
This Savior lives inside me there

In Your love I find release
A haven from my unbelief
Take my life and let me be
A living prayer my God to thee

In these trials of life I find
Another Voice inside my mind
He comforts me and bids me live
Inside the love the Father gives

In your love I find release
A haven from my unbelief
Take my life and let me be
A living prayer my God to thee
take my life and let me be
A living prayer my God to thee

10.    I'D RATHER HAVE JESUS


I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold
I'd rather be his than have riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or land
I'd rather be led by his nail-scarred hands

Than to be a king of a vast domain
Or be held in sin's dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today

I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause
I'd rather be faithful to his dear cause
I'd rather have Jesus then worldlwide fame
I'd rather be true to his holy name

Than to be a king of a vast domain
Or be held in sin's dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.

  1.    WAITING FOR TO NIGHT


Like a movie scene in the sweetest dreams
I had pictured us together
Now to feel your lips on my fingertips
I have to say is even better

Then I ever thought it could possibly be
It's perfect, it's passion, it's setting me free
From all of my sadness, the tears that I've cried
I have spent all of my life

All of my life, all of my life
All of my life, all of my life
All of my life, all of my life
All of my life, all of my life

Waiting for tonight
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight
I've dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight

Waiting for tonight, waiting for tonight
Waiting for tonight, waiting for tonight
Waiting for tonight, waiting for tonight

Tender words you say, take my breath away
Love me now and leave me never
Found a sacred place, lost in your embrace
I want to stay in this forever

I think of the days when the sun used to set
On my empty heart, all alone in my bed
Tossing and turning, emotions were strong
I knew, I had to hold on

Waiting for tonight
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight
I've dreamed of this love for so long

Waiting for tonight
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight
I've dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight

Gone are the days when the sun used to set
On my empty heart all alone in my bed
Tossing and turning, emotions were strong
I knew, I had to hold on

Waiting for tonight
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight
I've dreamed of this love for so long

Waiting for tonight
(Tonight, tonight)
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight
(Tonight, tonight)
I've dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight

  2.   LOVE DON'T COST A THING


Think you gonna keep me iced, you don?t
Think I?m gonna spend your cash, I won?t
Even if you were broke
My love don?t cost a thing

Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don?t
If I wanna floss, I got my own
Even if you were broke
My love don?t cost a thing

When you rolled up in the escalade
Saw the dub you gave to the valet
Knew that it was game when you looked at me
Pullin' up your sleeve so I could see the rolley bling

Saw you later in the corner booth
Raisin' up a toast so I would notice you
But your heart?s amiss
Think you outta know
Doesn?t matter if you?re ballin' out of control

All that matters is
That you treat me right
Give me all the things I need
That money can?t buy yea

Think you gonna keep me iced, you don?t
Think I?m gonna spend your cash, I won?t
Even if you were broke
My love don?t cost a thing

Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don?t
(Ooh)
If I wanna floss I got my own
Even if you were broke
My love don?t cost a thing

When I took a chance
Thought you?d understand
(You)
(Can't)
Baby credit cards aren?t romance
So you?re tryna' buy what?s already yours
(Understand)
What I need from is not available in stores

Seen a side of you that I really feel
(You)
(Feel)
Doing way too much, never keep it real
(Much)
(Real)
If it doesn?t change, gotta hit the road
Now I?m leaving, where?s my keys?
I?ve got to go

All that matters is
That you treat me right
Give me all the things I need
That money can?t buy yea

Think you gonna keep me iced, you don?t
Think I?m gonna spend your cash, I won?t
(Baby)
Even if you were broke
My love don?t cost a thing
(Love don?t cost a thing)

Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don?t
If I wanna floss, I got my own
(Ooh)
Even if you were broke
My love don?t cost a thing
(Love don?t cost a thing, a thing, a thing)

Yea, yea, yea
You think the money that you make
(That you make)
Can substitute the time you take
(The time you take)
Take the keys here to my heart
Then you can win my heart, and get what?s in my heart
(Oh ho)

(Hey)
I think you need to take some time
To show me that your love is true
(Ooh)
There?s more than dollar signs in you
Then you can win my heart, and get what?s in my heart
(My heart)

Think you gonna keep me iced, you don?t
Think I?m gonna spend your cash, I won?t
Even if you were broke
My love don?t cost a thing
(Love don?t cost a thing)

Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don?t
If I wanna floss, I got my own
(Got my own)
Even if you were broke
My love
(Even if you were broke)
Don?t cost a thing
(Love don?t cost a thing)

Think you gonna keep me iced, you don?t
Think I?m gonna spend your cash, I won?t
Even if you were broke
My love don?t cost a thing
(Love don?t cost a thing)

Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don?t
(Think I wanna no)
If I wanna floss, I got my own
(If I wanna no)
Even if you were broke
My love
Don?t cost a thing
(Love don't cost a thing)

(Ooh)
Think you gonna keep me iced, you don?t
(Think I gonna no)
Think I?m gonna spend your cash, I won?t
(If I wanna no)
Even if you were broke
My love don?t cost a thing

Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don?t
(Think I wanna no)
If I wanna floss, I got my own
(If I wanna no)
Even if you were broke
My love don?t cost a thing

 3.   I'M INTO YOU


Na na na na na na na na na yeah (x4)

[Lil' Wayne]
Hi, I’m Tune, the man on the moon
I live on the beach, get the sand out your shoes
And all of that change since I met you
So we can leave that old s**t in the restroom
Okay now I’m into you, like you never knew
I’m falling for ya baby, I need a parachute
Pussy so wet, I need a wet suit
Your way to fly, I could be your jet fuel
Now tell me what you like, I like what you tell me
And if you understand me, then you can overwhelm me
Its too late, its too late
Every finish line is the beginning of a new race, Young
Money

[Jennifer Lopez - Verse 1]

You got me and I could not defend it
I tried but I had to surrender
Your star got me under the spell
Left me no other choice but to get down
It's too late (x4)
You got it (x4)

[Hook]

   4.    FEELING SO GOOD



[RAP ]

When I opened up my eyes today
Felt the sun shining on my face
It became so clear to me that everything is going my way
I feel like there's no limit to what I can see
Got rid of fears that were holding me
My endless possibilities
Has the whole world opened for me
That's why I'm feeling...

[CHORUS:]
I'm feeling so good
I knew I would
Been taking care of myself
Like I should
'Cause not one thing
Can bring me down
Nothing in this world gonna turn me round...

Now the day is turning into night
And everything is still going right
There's no way you can stop me this time
Or break this spirit of mine
Like the stars above I'm gonna shine
Anything I want will be mine
Tonight I'm gonna have a good time
Call a few friends of mine
'Cause I'm loving life
And tonight's for feeling...

[CHORUS [2X]]

[RAP ]

[CHORUS ]

5.   IF YOU HAD MY LOVE


[CHORUS:]
If you had my love
And I gave you all my trust
Would you comfort me
And if somehow you knew that your love would be untrue
Would you lie to me
And call me baby
Now if I gave you me, this is how it's got to be
First of all I won't take you cheatin' on me
Tell me who can I trust if I can't trust in you
And I refuse to let you play me for a fool
You said that we could possibly spend eternity
See that's what you told me (that's what you said)
But if you want me
You have to be fulfilling all my dreams
(If you really want me babe)

[CHORUS ]

Said you want my love and you've got to have it all
But first there are some things you need to know
If you want to live
With all I have to give
I need to feel true love
Or it's got to end, yeah
I don't want you
Trying to get with me
And I end up unhappy
(Don't need the hurt and I don't need the pain)
So before I do
Give myself to you
I have to know the truth
(If I spend my life with you)

[CHORUS ]

  6.      WHATEVER YOU WANNA DO



Come on man, give me something I can move to
Give me some of that funk

Yeah
Yeah

Wooo
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa

Pulled up, at the red light
Cutie popped up on my left side
Window down, waiting for my reply
Not a word, I saw it in his eyes

Tell me something good baby
He said whatever you wanna do

He pulled to the curb, cops flash by
I got out with catwalk shy
Short skirt, golden brown thighs
Gucci heels, four inch high

Baby touch my face
My man said whatever you wanna do

Now I, I said I usually need some time to get inside
So I don't know why you and me feel so right
Baby we need tonight

We sippin', music all loud
Conversation, your lollypop mouth
You open up, sweet things come out
Whisper to me, what you talkin' 'bout
I said I think you know
He said whatever you wanna do

You stand up, taking my breath
It's your song so you do it two steps
I turned away, moved my hips slow
Your thoughts, fully exposed
Now we better stop playing
I said what are you gonna do

Now I, I usually take my time to get inside
So I don't know why you and me feel so right
You and I need tonight

Whatever you want (hey, hey)

It's all good

Now I normally take my time to get inside
So I, I don't know why it feels so right
So maybe we need tonight
Baby, we need (hey, yeah)

Whatever you want (hey, hey)

  7.      WHAT IS LOVE


Na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na [Repeat]

People told me,
I should write a love song
"Girl you sound so angry,
You could use some variation"
But I'm lonely
Negative relations
I've been hurt so many times
I don't have the patience

But I've wished for so long
For someone to come and show me
Lead by example
'Cause I've been waiting
I've tried every age
I'm so tired of the game
I wanna be somebody's girl
Would you show me the way?

What if I never find and I'm left behind?
Should I keep hoping for love?
What if I'm still the same?
Status doesn't change?
Gotta keep hoping for love

What is love? [x3]
Somebody show me
What is love? [x3]
'Cause if you told me
What is love? [x3]
I wouldn't be lonely
What is love?
Please show me
What is love?

I've had blind dates
Hooked up with some real flakes
I've gone out with church boys
Musician's are the worst
I've tried so hard
'Cause I'm just so die hard
Tried my best to play the part
Wish you could see inside

But I've wished for so long
For someone to come and show me
Lead by example
'Cause I've been waiting
I've tried every age
I'm so tired of the game
I wanna be somebody's girl
Would you show me the way?

What if I never find and I'm left behind?
Should I keep hoping for love?
What if I'm still the same?
Status doesn't change?
Gotta keep hoping for love

What is love? [x3]
Somebody show me
What is love? [x3]
'Cause if you told me
What is love? [x3]
I wouldn't be lonely
What is love?
Please show me
What is love?

Na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na [Repeat]

I've been alone
For the past three years
On Valentine's Day
Christmas is no exception
Birthday's with naughty presents
Been back and forth, same action
I just need this to happen
I'll be singing love's praises
If you would show me

What if I never find and I'm left behind?
Should I keep hoping for love?
What if I'm still the same?
Status doesn't change?
Gotta keep hoping for love

What is love? [x3]
Somebody show me
What is love? [x3]
'Cause if you told me
What is love? [x3]
I wouldn't be lonely
What is love?
Please show me
What is love?

Na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na [x4]

  9.      IT'S LOVE



What a strange sensation
Your magic captured me
With you I lost all my faith and control
It was your willingness, your weakness
and my obsession with you
you can leave after one more kiss
I lost reason
It's love, that's what I know
The craziness and the desire
It's love that you gave me
This intense fire
I got used to you
In dreams I felt you
Fly for my body making love
I want to get lost inside you
Burning in heat
It always quinched your thirst
Drinking my love up
It's love, that's what I know.....
the craziness and the desire
It's love that you gave me
This intense fire
It's love, that's what I know
It's consuming me
It's love that you gave me
What a naked feeling

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYfkl-HXfuU                                             ALTERNATE

    10.     TO LOVE IS FOR EVER


You invaded my heart
With this love that sometimes clouds the reason
And you can't think
I feel the same way too
From the first time I seen you, I was in love
I can't keep quiet anymore

CHOURS:
My love is forever
You're my reason, my peace
My light, my only truth
Love is givin with nothing to expect in return
You are how I dream
Your smile is the sun of every dawn
Without you, I don't know how I breath
I want to wake up next to you
In your body I found my other half
You taught me how to be a woman

(CHOURS)
Love is givin with nothing to expect in return

(CHOURS)
Love is givin with nothing to expect in return
